Hi

Nesrine Slaoui asks for the deletion of files uploaded in Commons in 02/2024. Panam2014 (talk) 12:10, 21 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Honestly these 2 pictures are OK. I won't support public personalities who do not assume their performances, and the pictures taken during them. Yann (talk) 14:04, 21 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
  Not done. No valid reason for deletion. Taivo (talk) 08:12, 22 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Remove protection

Hi! Could someone please change the protection settings for my user page from sysop only to autoconfirmed only? Thanks! Trijnsteltalk 16:22, 21 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Trijnstel:   Done per request. Abzeronow (talk) 16:29, 21 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

File:The Sounds of Earth Record Cover - GPN-2000-001978.jpg

Dear admins, File:The Sounds of Earth Record Cover - GPN-2000-001978.jpg seems to attract destructive edits by IPs (anonymous users); cf. the history of the page. Please consider to protect the file so that only logged in users can edit it. Thank you very much! – Aristeas (talk) 19:51, 21 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Done —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 20:06, 21 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Request to roll back a reviewed template

Can somebody with review privileges please roll back the file page content on File:Sonarika Bhadoria.jpg to this December 2023 version? A user vandalised a reviewed Bollywood Hungama licence, and the Commons interface is preventing me from restoring the original (and the source URL is dead now, so restoring it as needing a fresh review would risk it being rejected). Belbury (talk) 12:05, 22 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Belbury:   Done thanks to 0x0a.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 13:21, 22 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

File moves by User:CAPTAIN RAJU

In which sense is the move from File:Bundesarchiv Bild 183-27237-0001, Reinhard Gehlen.jpg to File:Bundesarchiv Bild 183-27237-0001, war.jpg an improvement? People who do not know what they are doing should not be able to move files. --Prüm (talk) 05:07, 25 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

It surprises me they have been a file mover for so long yet have made some very confusing mistakes. Can you elaborate why did you perform that move @CAPTAIN RAJU? Bedivere (talk) 05:17, 25 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
One strange thing I found is that CAPTAIN RAJU got their File move rights from the banned User:Daphne Lantier, according to logs. --Prüm (talk) 05:34, 25 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, they should have definitely applied if they didn't (it doesn't seem like it) Bedivere (talk) 12:26, 25 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
not first time. check User talk:CAPTAIN RAJU User talk:CAPTAIN RAJU/Archive 6... serious mistakes and quite often.
  Support removal as filemover. RZuo (talk) 13:42, 25 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
  Done Removed. They should reapply for the right. Bedivere (talk) 15:17, 25 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Additionally, the contributions of User:Comentarist (especially their uploads) should be checked. --Prüm (talk) 05:12, 25 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

All files deleted. Sources are unclear Bedivere (talk) 05:20, 25 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

This DR & This DR

Dear Admins,

Can someone please place this flickrwashing account on a blacklist since a stolen image placed on this account apparently passed flickrreview on March 4, 2023....ASAP. The stolen image is used in 2 wikipedia pages. Thank You, --Leoboudv (talk) 10:18, 25 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Done @Leoboudv. I can see clear flickrwashing and have thus blacklisted the account. ─ Aafī (talk) 10:42, 25 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
  •   Comment: I am going to bed now and would like to thank you for your help Aafi. Its miraculous that the real copyright owner has not detected the violation of his images to Commons for so long. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 11:20, 25 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

User:Alex Neman

This user frequently uploads photos of the back of head, and there are so many of them that I can't possibly list them all in the Deletion requests. Please intervene in this user's behavior.

In addition, these photos are all COM:OOS, and only a few of them are educational. Thyj (talk) 13:33, 25 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Recreation of previously deleted files

MultiJames 1995 (talk · contribs) seems to have re-uploaded mutiple files that previously deleted per COM:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by JCGDIMAIWAT. I have tagged some. Please check the rest. 0x0a (talk) 13:55, 25 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

User:Hölderlin2019 and Copyvio

I am sure that none of the uploads by User:Hölderlin2019 are their own work. I tagged one and it was deleted earlier. Their talk page shows a history of uploading files with copyright issues. Should I appropriately tag all their entries or is there policy which can roll back their uploads? Note: Active ANI report on enwiki. Jeraxmoira (talk) 08:59, 26 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Problematic additions of checksums by IP 38.42.62.122

Dear admins, please take a look at the contributions of IP 38.42.62.122. Between October and December 2023, this IP has added structured data “Checksum” entries to misc. images. But often these checksums conflict with already present reliable checksums; sometimes the IP has added 5 or so different checksums to the same image (which is absurd – when using the same determination method, an image should always have a single checksum), and the IP has never added the important “determination method” qualifier. Some other edits are obvious nonsense – the IP has set the structured data “depicts” (P180) value of this photo six times to “checksum“ (Q218341). Therefore I get the impression that most or all of these “Checksum” entries are just nonsense. Please check this. If you get the same impression, please consider to revert all not yet reverted changes made by that IP in that timeframe. Thank you very much! – Aristeas (talk) 13:11, 26 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
